Smart Mobs by Howard Rheingold

I picked up this book while cruising through Barnes and Noble and noticed it was already about 3 years old. The topic looked interesting, so I thought it might be worthwhile to read it. Boy was I right!

While the observations he makes are many years old now, many of the points are still relevant. Also, in my new company David Shen Ventures, LLC, I am finding that the ideas presented in this book are sparking my creativity with some of the companies I am working with now.

Rheingold's observations and conclusions about communities and cultures in a connected world are very insightful. They may seem more common now but I love his interpretations of the underlying reasons and causes behind the behaviors that are out there now, given that we are in such a connected world.

Sometimes books from years past are worth reading again...!

Buy it from amazon.com
